Rear Brakes Installed: Yesterday morning I decided to install the rear brake shoes, cylinders etc on to the backing plate which I completed. I found an excellent descriptor of how to install the retaining clips for the wheel cylinder in the old TR3 shop manual. Much more descriptive than the Haynes manual. Once again it took me a bit longer than I had anticipated-the positioning/installation of the parking brake levers threw me off initially...I couldn't see how you could wait until 2 of the clips were installed to install the lever. I kind of talked myself out of following the instructions in the manual until I finally did a trial of the procedure and it worked just fine. My mind was playing tricks on me based on assumptions the procedure would not work (the cylinder would be too tight against the back plate to install the levers?)..I had to read the instructions a couple of times to have it sink in....then just do it... lesson learned...
I sealed up the spare rear end axle tubes and moved the rear end out of the garage.
Rear Hubs Cleaned: I spend about 20 minutes per side cleaning up the rear hubs. Still contemplating installing new hub bearings and going through the whole rear hub removal procedure...
I cleaned up tools and put them away and generally cleaned up the work area. Still some work to do in this arena today...
